Stress is ubiquitous and disrupts homeostasis, leading to damage, decreased fitness, and
even death. Like other organisms, mycorrhizal fungi evolved mechanisms for stress …

Bacteria have been used to increase crop yields. For their application on crops, bacteria are
provided in inoculant formulations that are continuously changing, with liquid-and solid …

Increasing temperature leads to intensive water evaporation, contributing to global warming
and consequently leading to drought stress. These events are likely to trigger modifications …

Plant diseases are still the main problem for the reduction in crop yield and a threat to global
food security. Additionally, excessive usage of chemical inputs such as pesticides and …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are key players in forest carbon (C) sequestration, receiving a
substantial proportion of photosynthetic C from their forest tree hosts in exchange for plant …

Background Soils harbour a remarkable diversity of interacting fungi, bacteria, and other
microbes: together these perform a wide variety of ecological roles from nutrient cycling and …

Soil health and fertility issues are constantly addressed in the agricultural industry. Through
the continuous and prolonged use of chemical heavy agricultural systems, most agricultural …

Ectomycorrhizas are an intrinsic component of tree nutrition and responses to environmental
variations. How epigenetic mechanisms might regulate these mutualistic interactions is …

Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between roots and fungi is founded on the movement of carbon
from plants to fungi, and of soil resources from fungi to plants. Framing this movement as a …

Background Grapes are one of the highly valued non-climacteric fruits that can be
consumed fresh or used to produce numerous food products and dietary supplements …
